Much like any exercise program, ECP Therapy does require a commitment from the patient.  Each patient must adhere to the recommended protocol of one hour each day for a period of 35 days. Once the patient has completed the treatment course, it is recommended that some regular exercise program is implemented to maximize the beneficial effects from the treatment. This is critical as many patients will revert back to the previous inactive lifestyle which will limit the longevity of the benefits from the treatment course.
